Effects of changes in trunk inclination on ventilatory efficiency in ARDS patients: quasi-experimental study

Abstract Background Trunk inclination from semirecumbent head-upright to supine-flat positioning reduces driving pressure and increases respiratory system compliance in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). These effects are associated with an improved ventilatory ratio and reduc...
